Please direct questions about the eNOI form to the Stormwater Program staff in the Raleigh central
office. If the owner/operator of this project changes in the future, the new responsible party must
obtain a new COC.
Title 15A NCAC 4B .0118(a) and the NCG01 permit require that the following documentation be
kept on file at the job site:
1. The approved E&SC plan as well as any approved deviation.
2. The NCG01 permit and the COC, once it is received.
3. Records of inspections made during the previous 12 months.
Also, this letter gives the notice required by G.S. 113A-61.1(a) of our right of periodic inspection to
ensure compliance with the approved plan.
North Carolina's Sedimentation Pollution Control Act is performance-oriented,requiring protection
of existing natural resources and adjoining properties. If, following the commencement of this
project, the erosion and sedimentation control plan is inadequate to meet the requirements of the
Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 (North Carolina General Statute 113A-51 through 66),
this office may require revisions to the plan and implementation of the revisions to ensure
compliance with the Act.
Acceptance and approval of this plan is conditioned upon your compliance with Federal and State
water quality laws, regulations, and rules. In addition, local city or county ordinances or rules may
also apply to this land-disturbing activity. This approval does not supersede any other permit or
approval.
Please note that this approval is based in part on the accuracy of the information provided in the
Financial Responsibility Form and on the plan, which you provided. You are requested to file an
amended form if there is any change in the information included on the form.
Your cooperation is appreciated.
Sincerely,
Signed by:

General Comments
1. Additional measures may be required - the applicant is responsible for the control of
sediment on-site. If the approved erosion and sedimentation control measures prove
insufficient,the applicant must take those additional steps necessary to stop sediment from
leaving this site (NCGS 113A-57(3); 15A NCAC 4B .0115). Each sediment storage device
must be inspected after each storm event (NCGS 113A54.1(e)). Maintenance and/or clean
out is necessary anytime the device is at 50% capacity. All sediment storage measures will
remain on site and functional until all grading and final landscaping of the project is
complete (15A NCAC 04B .0113).
2. The applicant is responsible for obtaining any and all permits and approvals necessary for
the development of this project prior to the commencement of this land disturbing
activity. This could include our agency's Stormwater regulations and the Division of Water
Resources' enforcement requirements within Section 401 of the Clean Water Act,the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers'jurisdiction of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, the Division of
Coastal Management's CAMA requirements, the Division of Solid Waste Management's
landfill regulations, the Environmental Protection Agency and/or The U.S.Army Corps of
Engineers jurisdiction of the Clean Water Act, local County or Municipalities' ordinances, or
others that may be required. This approval cannot supersede any other permit or
approval; however, in the case of a Cease-and-Desist Order from the Corps of Engineers,
that Order would only apply to wetland areas. All highlands would still have to be in
compliance with the N.C. Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
3. If any area on site falls within the jurisdiction of Section 401 or 404 of the Clean Water Act,
the applicant is responsible for compliance with the requirements of the Division of Water
Resources (DWR), the Corps of Engineers and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
respectively. Any erosion control measures that fall within jurisdictional wetland areas
must be approved by the aforementioned agencies prior to installation. The Land Quality
Section must be notified of a relocation of the measures in question to the transition point
between the wetlands and the uplands to assure that the migration of sediment will not
occur. If that relocation presents a problem or contradicts any requirements of either
DWR, the Corps, or the EPA, it is the responsibility of the applicant to inform the Land
Quality Section regional office so that an adequate contingency plan can be made to assure
sufficient erosion control remains on site. Failure to do so will be considered a violation of
this approval (NCGS 113A-54.1(b)).
4. Any off-site borrow and waste required for this project must come from a site with an
approved erosion control plan, a site regulated under the Mining Act of 1971, or a landfill
regulated by the Division of Solid Waste Management. Trash/debris from demolition
activities or generated by any activities on site must be disposed of at a facility regulated by
the Division of Solid Waste Management or per Division of Solid Waste Management or
Division of Water Resources rules and regulations. [15A NCAC 4B .0110]
